An apparatus for use by a communication network element or communication network function configured to operate as an analytics entity and having an analytics logical function. The apparatus is caused to: receive a request, from a service consumer, for provision of a custom analytics service, process data retrieved from the request for determining whether a model for providing the requested custom analytics service is prepared, and in case the determination is negative, determine and select a model training entity having a model training logical function which is able to create a model for custom analytics and has access to data required for the requested custom analytics service, request, from the selected model training entity, to obtain a trained model capable of providing the requested custom analytics service and forward the information specifying the custom analytics service to the selected model training entity.

Mechanism for enabling custom analytics

Devices, methods and computer programs for a packet data unit session for machine learning exploration for wireless communication network optimization are disclosed. A client device detects a trigger condition being satisfied for machine learning exploration for wireless communication network optimization. In response, the client device initiates establishment of a packet data unit (PDU) session for the machine learning exploration. The PDU session for the machine learning exploration is associated with a machine learning exploration indicator that indicates that the PDU session is reserved for machine learning exploration.

Packet data unit session for machine learning exploration for wireless communication network optimization

An apparatus for use by a communication network element or function configured to act as a management controller in a communication network, the apparatus comprising at least one processing circuitry, and at least one memory for storing instructions to be executed by the processing circuitry, wherein the at least one memory and the instructions are configured to, with the at least one processing circuitry, cause the apparatus at least: to conduct a creation and activation of at least one data source function instance for configuring a data source being not standardized for usage in the communication network to provide data to a data consumer formed by a communication network element or function in a data format allowing the data consumer to process the data, wherein the creation and activation comprises associating the data source function instance to meta data describing either a non-communication network standardized data type or a proprietary data type using attributes defined to the respective data type, and associating the data source function instance to context data describing a generation time of data to be provided to the data consumer and a scope of data to be provided to the data consumer including a relation to a part of the communication network.

Mechanism for integrating non-standard related data sources into communication network

Techniques for detection of abnormal network function service usage in a communication network are disclosed. For example, a method comprises obtaining, at a first network entity, one or more service requests previously received by a second network entity for a service which the second network entity is configured to provide in a communication network. The method further comprises obtaining, at the first network entity, an analysis of the one or more service requests previously received by the second network entity for the service. The method further comprises obtaining, at the first network entity, an expected service usage for the service from the analysis of the one or more service requests. The method may then compare incoming service requests to the expected service usage to detect a given condition, e.g., an abnormal condition, so that at least one action can be taken.
